Make sure you call Social Security and tell them the acct # they have now is closed and give them your new bank info. That happened to me and it held up my back pay by 3 mos.

I have to disagree with calling this info in. Bringing it in person to a local office is a better safeguard that it is actually updated.

If someone had no option but to call it in, make sure it is to your local office, not the national 800#, and keep a record of the date and name of the person that helped you.

Hi Don,

You are such a sweetie! What a cool video. OK, we can't dance. When SSDI was approved I lit into a whole cheesecake with a serving spoon. Find something sinful and guaranteed to stick to your arteries and enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You do know that the ALJ only controls the date you get the decision that you are disabled and has zero control over when you get paid. However, once you get a favorable decision, the wheels of the payment center start working on getting you paid.

Janke, Don's ALJ used his 55 birthday to meet the lower thresh hold for SSDI approval if I'm remembering correctly.

You could have refused to change the dates, but the ALJ was telling you he'd have denied you if you had. You went with the safe decision, and I would have done the same if faced with the same dilema!

The glass half empty is that you're missing the backpay (not a trivial thing).

The glass half full is that because of your b-day it was easier for the ALJ to approve you!
